Overview

The Branches is a name given to the group of deities that are said to reside at the top of the tree and are often most associated with light and the vibrance of springtime. The three gods that reside in The Branches govern the good aspects of the world.

Glauram - God of Justice

Depiction

The god of justice, Glauram, is often depicted as a great dragon. He is presented as a strong force of unwavering conviction and due to this nature the dragons of Erendia have granted him the honor of Platinum King, a title reserved for the one in highest regard in dragon culture. Humanoid mortal races have adopted this Platinum King moniker in their iconography and teaching of Glauram's role in the Resonance.

Clergy

While dragons do not practice religion conventionally, those among the metallic variety often reference Glauram in their way of life and find themselves drawn to his iconography and principles. Mortal races, however, have built large temples in their great cities that act as lawmaking bodies and even the smallest courthouses are often adorned with Glauram's symbol, a winged hammer.

Ysod - Goddess of Life

Depiction

The goddess of life, Ysod, is a mysterious figure even to the most devout. She is less of a tangible entity and often seems more like a force of nature. She is depicted as a woman holding a stem of grain in her left hand and a simple rod in her right. Her hair is often adorned with flowers and her gown flows like water.

Clergy

Probably the most widespread of the religious sects, the church of Ysod founds hospitals and houses of healing throughout Erendia. Their faithful dedicate their lives to the aid of others. Some find themselves joining military ranks as combat healers and some seek solitude in the forest, ever searching for new ways to cure ailments and afflictions. Her symbol is a sun encircled with laurels.

Israfine - Goddess of Love

Depiction

The goddess of Love, Israfine, is probably the most revered being in any tavern in civilized lands. She is associated with music, revelry, beauty, and passion. She is depicted as a woman with wild hair who rides on horseback and carries no weapons save for her wit and wanderlust. In her hands is often a musical instrument of some kind.

Clergy

Israfine does not hold any typical churches or temples, but her faithful build taverns and festival grounds dedicated to her worship. It is said the festivals of Israfine are so vibrant, so full of beauty, that even the most stoic of individuals is moved to joyful wonder. Her faithful are often versed in music and bear instruments engraved with her symbol, a goblet with a crescent moon.
